Did the Anzacsget a choice to go to war?

The ANZACs, or Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, did not have a true choice in whether to go to war, as the enlistment was largely driven by a sense of duty and patriotism during World War I. Many young men felt compelled to join due to societal pressure, national pride, and the belief in supporting the British Empire. While technically enlistment was voluntary, the cultural and social expectations of the time made it difficult for individuals to opt out without facing stigma or criticism.


How did you join the army in ancient Greece?

Children (males) were sent off to Army camps at the age of 7, I believe. They would train until they were 18. Harsh, harsh training. Being whipped, fighting (almost to the death) with other children and sometimes full-grown men. It was said that the time men were sent into the army, it was a mother's proudest moment. There was really no choice if you could go in or not. If the child was deformed or handicapped, they would leave the child out to starve, or just murder it. They thought there was no use for those type of children, and they would just slow down the army.
